Hi! My name is Hideko and I am passionate about Macrame and Stained Glass Art I started PidegoArt so I can introduce Macrame and Stained Glass Art to help everyone to create their own art!

I fell in love with Macrame because it’s therapeutic, has freedom of design and does not require many tools! On contrary, Stained Glass requires many different tools and equipment but I love introducing the art form of Stained Glass to everyone!

I have been teaching Macrame at PidegoArt since 2021 and Stained Glass workshop from Feb 2023 and loving it so much :)

I also make Stained Glass Art and Jewellery at PidegoArt.

Hideko was lovely and her instructions were clear and easy to follow. A wonderful class and experience, with a beautiful end product to remember it by

Emily Shen Mar 2024


Great class! Ayako was a super patient and friendly teacher who made sure to give everyone in the class equal attention. The place was super cute and all the tools were laid out and easy to use under Ayako's guidance. Surprisingly there was a lot of steps that are required in making it, including soldering (which took ages and was more difficult to get a great looking result than expected), but it was a lot of fun. My friends and I had enjoyed designing our pieces. The class was part of a birthday gift, and it was defs on the pricier end but a worthy experience and you really get the full experience in such an intimate class (Max 4). We all agreed it was our favourite class we've done, and we've done many!

My Mum and I did this class on Sunday and had an amazing time! Hideko was an amazing teacher & thoroughly went through each step of the process. Our sun-catchers turned out beautifully, I am so impressed. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone, and would definitely do it again. Thanks again Hideko!

Carol Ashton Mar 2024


My daughter and I did the class together and loved it. My daughter gave me a gift voucher for my birthday for both of us to attend.
Hideko is lovely and an excellent teacher who provides clear instructions, she is very patient and despite the class being non-stop 3.5 hours of activity the room is very calm and a wonderful environment for learning.
Everything needed for making a stained glass hanging was provided, well organised and their uses explained.
It was very interesting to learn the method of making a stained glass piece, a lot more to it than I had imagined.
To be able to immerse myself in a creative process and forget about normal life for a few hours was the best part and spend time with my daughter.

Danielle Vignati Mar 2024


I had a lovely afternoon with Hideko, doing macrame for the first time. She was a great teacher, offering advice and tips when needed, and great conversation otherwise. I loved walking away with new craft skills and a beautiful functional item at the end of the afternoon.

Rebecca Burrell Mar 2024


We 100% reccomend this class to anyone who is interested in stained glass, being creative, or just looking for something a little different to do with their partner/friends/family. All you have to do is show up, everything was provided at the workshop.

Hideko is an amazing teacher and we had a wonderful time learning about the process of making stained glass artwork! She was very patient, and encouraged us to push our creative boundaries.

We are in love with our suncatchers. Seeing them in our kitchen window every day puts a smile on our faces. We also purchased an adorable mushroom of hers, which we think complements ours amazingly.

Hideko is clearly a master of her craft. She gives the perfect amount of guidance while keeping you involved. The studio is also beautiful and Hideko was very generous in providing snacks as well as taking extra time beyond the class to help us. I had a lovely time with my partner and would highly recommend this to anyone

Susanna Wang Feb 2024


Hideko is such an energetic artist who is so creative and she is full of idea when designing the macramés and stained glasses.
She’s very patient to guide our group and gave us hands on tips.
Also we liked her passion to creating the arts and her beautiful studio.

I’ll go back to do her other classes for sure. Thank you Hideko

Cannot speak highly enough of the beginners stained glass workshop. Hideko was so lovely and patient and knowledgeable. She provided all the materials and spent hours of extra time with us so that we could all make unique designs. It was great value for money and spending a day with Hideko was an absolute delight.

Kara Armstrong Feb 2024


I took my mum to do this class and it was just the two of us. The teacher was excellent at explaining everything in detail. She was very patient with us when she had to explain several times on how to make some of the knots. All materials were provided, as well as some small snacks. Very happy with the product that we made. Very good value for money.

Amazing class! PidgeoArt was so welcoming and friendly! Little snacks and water was provided! The studio was beautiful. We were able to practice glass cutting, and any areas in which we got stuck on, our teacher supported us. I would highly recommend this class!

Nicole O'Donnell Feb 2024


I bought this a gift for my daughter’s birthday and we both loved every minute of this workshop. Hideko is so knowledgeable and passionate about macrame and so super generous going over time. We learned so much and have both got a new hobby! The space is perfect to learn in and very inspiring. Thank you for the best afternoon

Went there as a birthday activity with a friend, and booked a normal slot but we had our super friendly teacher just for ourselves. The venue was so lovely and cool during the warm day, with drinks and snacks, and providing loads of guidance for the knots and even tips for our upcoming travels. Can 1000% recommend booking a workshop with her!

My daughter and her friend attended the Shooting Star Macrame class today, and they both enjoyed it a lot. Hidego was lovely, very welcoming and warm and passionate about her craft. She also gave them snacks and juice which was kind of her to do so. Girls are looking forward to their next session with Hidego.

Lou de Beuzeville Jan 2024


Hideko is the best! She’s patient and passionate and a clear instructor that always makes you feel successful. We came out with gorgeous stained glass sun catchers in our own design and a huge desire to do more

Jason Reeve Jan 2024


We had a wonderful time with Hideko!
Making the macrame hat hanger might seem like a difficult task at first, but Hideko was excellent at explaining the process and guiding us through it. After a little practice, we were weaving and knotting like experts - well, nearly haha.
A great, relaxing activity in a very pleasant setting.
Thanks Hideko & PidegoArt :)

Brodie Scanlan Jan 2024


This was a Christmas gift for my girlfriend to get a taste of what stained glass making entails. It didn’t just deliver but it turned out to be some of the best nights out I’ve had. The Glass provided was all beautiful and plentiful so we weren’t scared only one of us could get certain colours. The teacher Hideko was great friendly and made us feel comfortable and safe using all the equipment.

Esther Sim Jan 2024


This stained glass class for beginners is a exciting, educational & fun way to spend your morning. Hideko is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and passionate about the craft she has mastered — and she teaches the foundational skills of stained glass design, soldering, and cutting with patience and warmth. Thank you Hideko I’ll see you again soon ✨

The teacher, Hideko, is absolutely amazing!
She is such a creatively talented person, and her training was very clear, showing absolute patience and kindness with me during the entire process.
The environment was comfortable, the glass colour options were great and the session was well supplied with the right tools- including a little sweet treat!

I was fortunate to spend a lovely afternoon creating a macramé plant hanger at PidegoArt. The instructor, Hideko, is patient and knowledgeable and guided me to creating a beautiful finished product, complete with a healthy plant. The class was relaxed, the environment warm and pleasant. I will be returning ASAP to tackle another project.

Vicki Dec 2023


Absolutely lovely teacher who is knowledgeable and explained macrame so well. All equipment was supplied and we practiced the knots on separate ropes first. The space was cosy but comfortable and little snacks and water were supplied. A fun way to spend a couple of hours with a great result.

My daughter and her friend were booked into the Shooting Star Macrame workshop and they had a great time Hideko was so lovely and the girls enjoyed the step by step process in making their macrame stars! They were given a juice and some snacks during the class too. They girls made gorgeous stars chosing their own colours and also brought home some instructions to complete key chains as well! Look forward to another class in the future!
Thank you for an enjoyable morning!

Hideko is a wonderful instructor. I am a bit of a klutz and have a poor memory, but Hideko was always patient and guided me through every step. She was very good at giving instructions as well as giving tips to help remember how to do each type of know and how to recognize when you've made an error. The space was cute, well lit, and everything was perfectly organized for me before I even walked in. I love arts and crafts and have taken dozens of workshops, but I can definitely say this is one of the best. Thank you Hideko!

This class is ideal for those who are interested in leadlight but don't want to commit to a long course of classes before experiencing a taste of the process. Hideko scaffolded the activity for us, providing pre-cut glass and a relatively simplified design based on six to eight diamonds. Unfortunately, that didn't stop me taking a long time to make up my mind during the design process but fortunately Hideko was very generous with her time and extended the session. We came home having spent a wonderful day being calmly and patiently stepped through the copper foiling process and with something that gives us joy to look at and happy memories.

LOVED my time spent with Hideko creating my unique suncatcher! Appreciated that the class goes ahead with just one participant, your design is completely up to your own imagination and Hideko helps bring that together with her knowledge, skills and enthusiasm! It was like sitting down, with a bestie, doing craft, for a Sunday afternoon! Doesn't get much better than that!

I had a great class with Hideko. Everything was well prepared. The selection of colours and textures was generous. The hardest part was deciding on my final design. I ended up modifying it partway through

Hideko took her time explaining each process and was very patient. I came away with a good understanding of the process eager to do more. Plus I have a great piece to hang in the window!

I really enjoyed chatting and getting to know her as well.

I had a wonderful time today at Pidegoart. The teacher “Hideko” not only provided me a a very comfortable set up and all the materials, but she was also extremely hospitable, puntual and personable. This studio is full of beautiful art which is exactly what you need to feel confident to craft even as a beginner. Hideko teaching skills are undoubtedly incredible and she was happy to give many ideas on different pieces that can be made with the macramé knots I learned from her. I walked out feeling inspired and confident of my new skill. I highly recommend Hideko’s workshops and her artworks.

The workshop is a beautiful place, and all the materials were really qualitative. I never felt so good about spending this amount of money before - it was so worth it!
It felt amazing to craft this suncatcher piece; Hideko made me discover my creativity again and maybe a new passion. Thank you so much for doing such a great job. Highly recommended!

I had such a fantastic class with Hideko.
Hideko is a great teacher who is passionate about her craft and generously shares her wealth of knowledge. She teaches with patience and I learnt so much in her stained glass suncatcher making class. I would highly recommend this class to anybody interested in learning how to work and create with glass.
The venue was spotless and well laid out, with safety precautions in place as well as enough space. Hideko prepared all of the materials and tools before the class to ensure the class ran smoothly and has a large selection of stained glass colours and styles to work with. She encourages creative expression and has a great attention to detail. I loved the experience, enjoyed learning a new skill and loved Hideko's nurturing teaching style.

Hideko is very creative and makes an amazing instructor. She is very clear while she explains technique and she helps each student individually when they need assistance. The light-filled venue was a shared space between the classroom, a workshop and the Pidego Art storefront. Very quaint and inviting. All materials were provided for the stained glass class and every precaution taken to provide a safe environment for each student. We got to choose different stained glass colours, decide what shape our light catcher would take, add copper foil and then solder the piece together. I love the piece I made and it's on display in my house! Highly recommend taking this class!

The hanging that we were taught was perfect and provided a good base to learn all of the beginner level knots. The end product was beautiful and I have already hung it in my home.

I had a great time and I would absolutely recommend Hideko and her class.

The set up and teaching was great. Can't believe how quickly I was able to learn macrame. Will definitely be back to Hideko to try out her stain glass class. A huge thank you to Hideko, you're so very talented and so very kind. Wishing you all the best for your business xx

I brought a group voucher for my family for a Christmas present as I'm trying to look for opportunities to get together and create memories rather than a tangible present they may not want. So I brought this gift for my 82 year old dad, my 50 year old sister, my 25 year old daughter and my 14 year old nephew. They all attended the class together with Hideko and thoroughly enjoyed it. They are all macrame fans now.

The large macrame wall hanging class is a great introductory class to start your macrame journey. Hideko was a lovely, knowledgeable, patient teacher who offered a lot of insight into the craft and is amazingly talented. I did not expect to be able to create such a masterpiece as my first macrame attempt and I was very happy with the final product. The location was easy to find and the venue suitable and showcased Hideko's creative and skilful pieces of work. Cannot recommend this class enough!

This was my first time venturing into the art of macrame and I absolutely loved it. Hideko was a wonderful instructor - at first the processes appeared complicated but she had a way of explaining and demonstrating that I was able to quickly pick it up. I can't believe I produced this beautiful piece of work in only a few hours! The whole experience was wonderful - relaxing music played whilst I created my work in her charming shop. I completed this workshop on my own but would also be fun to do with a friend. And at the end you walk away with a gorgeous piece of art for your home!

I loved this class. The small class size was perfect, Hideko was a wonderful teacher, friendly and helpful. She had thoughtfully prepared a snack for us which was much appreciated. I was so happy to complete my wall art and be able to bring home on the day with me. This was a great class to relax and de-stress. Macrame is fun and I really recommend her class

Hideko was the most amazing Macramé Teacher. Her love for the craft was shared in how she taught and shared her journey. We all walked away with our beautiful wall hangings eager to return for another project.

My mum, sister and I had a lovely time making our macrame plant hanger. Hideko is a wonderful and patient teacher and made the learning experience enjoyable. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn and wants to take something home they can be proud of to hang on their wall!

Hideko was so enthusiastic about macrame, welcoming and patient with us as we learnt a new skill. And the shop environment was a lovely space to learn in. Everyone is really impressed with what we were able to produce in just one class.

Having wanted to learn macrame for years, I'm so glad to have discovered Pidego Art. A beautiful and welcoming space, my friend and I were lucky enough to have a private lesson with Hideko, who was so lovely and patient. Thank you for sharing your love of art with us, I will definitely be recommending your classes to all my friends :)

Hideko was such an incredible teacher, she is so patient and gentle, it was a privilege to work with her. The space was beautiful has such a warm and cosy feel. Hideko ensured that I felt safe and she was very contentious and met all my health needs. I will definitely be back 10/10 experience.

Such an amazing class. Small and intimate and filled with so much information. Hideko was so kind to show us the ropes and educate us on her business and the art of macrame. The class was very informative and the materials provided were such high quality. Our mini macrame plant hanger now lives beautifully in our living room. I highly recommend trying this class.

It was such a great class, highly recommended for all ages and all skill levels. Hideko is a fun, patient very knowledgeable teacher, and an amazing artist! She also generously gave us tips on growing cute avocado plants. We were a little slow with our work and Hideko very kindly extended the time to accommodate us which we appreciated very much. There’re also snacks and water provided as refreshments. Overall it was a very enjoyable class, we will recommend it to everyone!
